💡 Announcing the 2025 First Nations Fellows 💡 ACSES is proud to announce the recipients of the 2025 First Nations Fellowships are Ms Lauren Tynan from Macquarie University and Dr. John Doolah from the University of Melbourne. Lauren’s project, “Kin and Country learning: developing Indigenous pedagogies for Australian higher education”, aims to address the issue of inadequate Indigenous perspectives and pedagogies in higher education teaching and learning. John’s project, “Understanding Torres Strait Islander Knowledge and Shifting Attitudes”, will research the situation of Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems in Australian education to determine how best to apply Torres Strait Islander knowledge through Indigenous perspectives in classroom lessons. The 2025 First Nation Fellowship program aims to strengthen the quality, capability, scale, and capacity of Australia’s First Nations researchers and practitioners. The new First Nations Fellows will lead projects that implement evidence-based best practices to improve access to and participation in Australian higher education.
